I wish FOPP was still there, having bought most of my CD's from FOPP in the past. It was Nottingham's last independent record store, even after HMV took them over.

^ I was in there the other day with the kids. Hatfields and Henry Cow were my first Canterbury heroes but I can remember where, when and who I was with when I first heard that Caravan debut album - in Nottingham.

^ My first Canterbury Scene album was Caravan's debut, purchased on CD from FOPP in Nottingham sometime around 2010/11/12, although I had no idea it was Canterbury Scene music until joining ProgArchives.

My memories of the Canterbury scene:
- My first 'Canterbury' album was probably 'The Rotter's Club', bought on release in 75 as a 13 year old after hearing something off it on the Alan Freeman Show. - Read Steve Hillage mention 'Canterbury Fuzz Organ' in an interview when he became temporary leader of Gong in 75. Until then, I didn't realise Canterbury was a 'scene'. - First 'Canterbury' gig - Steve Hillage supported by National Health at Leicester University, 1978. If you include Henry Cow, then I had already seen them twice by then (in 77). - Lucky to see the Canterbury 'supergroup', In Cahoots in Nottingham, in 1984 (Pyle, R. Sinclair, Miller, Dean and Lemer) - Attended Caravan 'reunion' at Central TV, Nottingham, in 1990 (we all know the video) - Saw another Canterbury supergroup, Going Going (Hopper/R. Sinclair/Ward/Hewins), this time at Brixton Fridge supporting Gong Maison, in 1991. - Also in 1991, finally got to see Kevin Ayers in London (first of three occasions) - More recently, the current Soft Machine (in 2019 I was lucky to see them with the late John Marshall and Roy Babbington) Canterbury musician I have seen the most: Richard Sinclair

Three cheers for Henry Cow and Slapp Happy! And a dozen more for Alan Gowan!

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

It's a long road we've been Travelling together all aboard our Magic Bus with a Caravan on tow and following the sign for Hatfield & the North on the Canterbury Scene trail (which isn't a Quantum Jump away from Jazz Rock/Fusion). Undoubtedly, there's been a whole Soft Heap of goodies to savour, but two outstanding golden Gong artists for me were Zopp & Zyma, who arrived by special Delivery right at the end of the trail, although they were well worth waiting for. I was left with Egg on my face though after giving Robert Wyatt's acclaimed Rock Bottom album a 2-star rating, Cos anyone with National Health specs can see it's worth more than that, especially bearing in mind Rock Bottom is right near the top of PA's Canterbury Scene chart at #2.

Not many bands can top Zopp and it's good to see they have many fans here with both of their superb albums in PA's Canterbury Scene Top 30 too.

Both Zopp lps are wonderful .... heard them on you tube but will be ordering them soon.
But.....imho they are not better than the classic Canterbury lps by Hatfield and Nat Health.....they are as good as in some ways but imho they don't have that same vibe that the female singers (Parson, Gaskins ,et al and Sinclair) as well as the writing Stewart et al brought to Hatfield and others. But I 'm glad Zopp is emulating the older sounds.

Hi, I guess that comment might be a bit over the zopp somewhere, but I agree that both albums are excellent. Wonderful listens, regardless of it being Canterbury tea or bones! I think that is one of the most satisfying listens in some time. Very very nice!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Zopp are the Topps for me and the music goes nicely with tea and crumpets too.
